Current AmeriCorps Programs

Do you want to make an impact in your community while learning valuable skills and making connections that last a lifetime? Massachusetts AmeriCorps members serve with organizations at over 500 sites across the state to strengthen communities.

MSA is overseeing 31 State AmeriCorps programs for the 2023-2024 program year. View information on the past year's programs below, or view our applicant FAQ here. A filterable database of programs in the 2023-2024 program year is coming soon.

Most AmeriCorps programs are full-time for 10 months (for a total of 1700 hours) and offer a taxable Segal AmeriCorps Education Award of up to $6,895 upon successful completion of service; however, some are as low-commitment as 10 hours a week or as short as 15-weeks, and offer a education award proportionate to the number of hours served.
